I have a list of stuff still to get and cooling needs to be taken care of before the snow comes. I HATE having cooling problems when the snow is out. Planning to just replace all the rubber. Anyone ever replaced the OEM Mitsubishi VAR Shocks? How could they be worth $300 each? I like leaving all the "gadgets" working in the truck but $1200 to keep ECS is hard to agree with. 1994+1995 Montero SR 2003 Montero Limited 1990 Mighty Max 6G72 4x4 2014 Outlander Sport (Wife) 1992 Galant VR4 (724) 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo RS - (SOLD) + Other Non Mitsu's Re: New Montero Owner 1995 SR - Saving it from the Junk Yard [Re: azazel] #1063127 08/22/13 03:48 PM Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 628 Castle Rock WA, US geocrasher Rock Warrior The general consensus on these trucks is to use KYB Gas-a-just shocks. They work particularly well with Monteros. 1987 Raider, 346K miles and going strong -31" tires, otherwise stock. http://tidbitsfortechs.com/ http://actionpcs.com <-- $39 remote PC repair, guaranteed.

Looks like 33x10.5 would do the trick....not sure the 33x12.5 would work (it appears other forum posts say it wont). I am excited to get wrenching, hurry up UPS! They do. Just may have to find a shop who will install them on the stock rims since the minimum rim width for 12.5's is typically 8.5 or 9". Otherwise, there's no interference within the wheel wells or anything else.

Then I forgot to change it and let it sit outside for a week in 0 deg weather. The water turned to ice and took out the Radiator, seals, etc. Dumb mistake! 1994+1995 Montero SR 2003 Montero Limited 1990 Mighty Max 6G72 4x4 2014 Outlander Sport (Wife) 1992 Galant VR4 (724) 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo RS - (SOLD) + Other Non Mitsu's Re: New Montero Owner 1995 SR - Saving it from the Junk Yard [Re: MontyMcV] #1063132 08/22/13 08:17 PM Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 62 Colorado A azazel OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Went to parts.com and looked it up. http://www.parts.com/parts/1995/MITSUBIS...component=Shock $255 is the best price I can find so far.

Good enough that I'd go that route, based on my liking the feature way back when I had my 95 SR. The shocks in that thread are for the gen 2.5 (i believe) which use a different shock. Not sure if that will fit the gen II SR's or not or if the controls in cabin will work with the gen 2.5 shock. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Re: New Montero Owner 1995 SR - Saving it from the Junk Yard [Re: off-roader] #1063134 08/23/13 05:08 PM Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 62 Colorado A azazel OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Here are some pics.
